Mike shared his wealth of knowledge and life experiences in a relaxed manner. He was extremely flexible to the needs of our group. He patiently waited for us in the rain as we were late arriving from the food tour with Kendra. He accommodated us, kept us comfortable, dry and warm on an extremely stormy day! Can’t wait to plan another road trip to Lancaster to see, learn and enjoy all Lancaster has to offer, Thanks Mike, for a great afternoon!

Our guide was so knowledgeable about Lancaster, it’s rich history related to the founding of our nation and promotion/preservation of our basic freedoms. We were educated on Lancaster and its role during the early days of our nation, educated us on Ben Franklin and his business and political activities in Lancaster in support of the birth of democracy, as well as other notable citizens. The discussion of Lancaster as a major destiny due to its prominence in support of The Underground Railroad and Thaddeus Stevens and other prominent citizens during this crucial time in our history, all very enlightening. He discussed the successes and complex shortcomings of one of its most notable citizens, President Buchanan. We learned of ingenuity in commerce with its unique method of skirting the law during Prohibition. This is not an Amish tour but rather a light and easy walking tour where our knowledge and appreciation of Lancaster and its important role on American history was expanded. The craft beer tour part provided a lesson on American ingenuity and two stops for a casual beverage sampling.

Mike was excellent. Discover things about Lancaster and PA that I would have never known if I didn’t take his walking tour.

Had a great time wandering the city of Lancaster. Never knew there was so much history in a city I never even knew was in Amish Country! Our guide Mike was awesome and knew so much. You do need to listen to the history before getting your first beer, but it was worth the wait! Great technology as well, we were given and earpiece to make sure we heard every word as we walked through the city.
